Animals playing video games ?!

YouTube is full of videos with pets doing all kinds of strange and stupid things...but seeing them playing games on a smartphone (or a tablet) is mind-blowing, to say the least!

I hardly think they have any idea of what is actually going on. They most probably think the ants or whatever are real or something..

Let's see four of the most popular YouTube videos, featuring animals playing video games:

An african bull frog (Pyxicephalus adspersus) plays ant crasher. The frog’s aim is quite good, hitting the target (with its tongue) most of the times. The video has a very unexpected, but hilarious ending.

I guess this is the perfect game for people with hyperactive cats

Again ant-crasher, this time played by a bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps). I think the frog was a way, way better player.

An ape playing pacman. Perhaps this animal is the only with a minor idea of what is actually going on. After all, pacman is a relatively complex game. Sticking your tongue out or pressing the screen with your paw won't get you anywhere in this game! Having said that, he is not a good player. Perhaps he needs more practice. Or maybe he likes other games, like donkey kong?

Note to trolls: Don't bother with the "animal abuse" type of comments :)
